The North Providence High School mission
The mission of North Providence High School is to educate all students in a safe, nurturing, and challenging environment which empowers them to become well-rounded individuals who are lifelong learners and productive members of society.
Vision statement
North Providence High School is a student-centered community that fosters academic and social development for all students. We set high standards and expectations and provide the necessary means for students to achieve success. Our students are responsible decision makers who are ready to be productive, lifelong learners in a global society.

All graduates of North Providence High School must possess a common core of knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to become responsible citizens, productive workers, and lifelong learners.
The North Providence High School community has identified and adopted four core 21st-century expectations for student learning (graduation expectations) which support the accomplishment of school’s mission, reflect our core values and beliefs, and are aligned with the standards and performance indicators identified in district and school curriculum documents.
These interdisciplinary expectations encompass academic, civic, and social outcomes and identify what a North Providence High School student should know and be able to do upon graduation.
Individual and school-wide accomplishments of these learning expectations are assessed primarily through our nationally recognized senior project, graduation portfolio, and department common tasks.
